Re: Z axis sticking

Check and make sure the plastic covers that screw down over the motors are not too tight and causing binding.

If you hear a mechanical noise, most likely there is a mechanical issue. Try to find and solve it!

Check if the spool holder is on the right side. It should be mounted on the back of the frame, otherwise it will collide with the X device during the calibration.
